Over 15.5 million phone numbers ported in Romania in the last 18 years
Published
The telecommunications market in Romania recently reached a significant milestone, after authorities announced that over 15.5 million phone numbers have been ported in the last 18 years. The portability service allows users to change their mobile or landline provider while keeping their current phone number.
This right was introduced in Romania in 2008, offering consumers more freedom of choice. Thanks to this mechanism, competition between telephone operators has increased significantly, as they have been forced to offer better prices and more attractive services to retain their customers or attract new users from other networks.
Statistics show that the majority of ported numbers belong to the mobile telephony segment, where users are much more active in seeking out more advantageous offers. Over time, the porting process has become much simpler and faster, requiring only the submission of a request to the newly chosen provider, without the need to contact the old operator.
The National Authority for Management and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM) emphasizes that this service has contributed to the development of a more transparent market. Romanian consumers are now better informed and can take advantage of available promotional offers without the fear of losing the contacts saved in their phonebooks.
In conclusion, the success of portability in Romania demonstrates the importance of the free choice of communication services. As technology advances, the number of users relying on this service is expected to continue to grow, thereby maintaining a high level of competitiveness in the telecommunications sector.
